Pre Omicron from memory, Super Rugby, Breakers and Nix were trying to work on a solution with Sport NZ, for TT sport?? Don't think Warriors were involved in those discussions having commited to making Redcliffe home for 2022??

The Wellington Phoenix are calling on Government officials to be more proactive and innovative in their decision making to see if it is possible for the men to return home before the end of the 2021/22 Isuzu UTE A-League season, having spent the best part of two years stranded in Australia.
“Professional sport is a business and like many New Zealand businesses that rely on the free transfer of people, goods and services, and capital across our border we need proactive solutions for the re-opening of borders, not the rigid, no flexibility mindset that currently dominates decision making,” Dome said.
“No one in sport is asking for special favours but the trans-Tasman competitions like Super Rugby, the NRL, NBL and A-Leagues stimulate the flow of money in the economy, especially in the hospitality and tourism sectors, which have been hit hard by COVID.”
“We need Government officials to proactively work with the private sector, to think laterally to find solutions and start making proactive decisions that are real world based, so we can return live sport with crowds to the benefit of the broader community.”
